Y’all, it’s that time of year again, the time when you turn the corner only to find another friend or family member has caught something! We all want to know how to stay healthy during cold and flu season! It’s miserable if you’re sick and it’s not an easy job trying to avoid it! So […]

The McIntyres are one of the sweetest, hardest working families I know!

They run a dairy farm nestled into the mountains of southwest Virginia and just this past month they became farm owners of their beautiful farm! I couldn’t be more excited for them!!

I spent the afternoon with them capturing life on their farm milking cows and collecting eggs and just exploring!

Every year I get the privilege to photograph this family and it just gets sweeter and more fun each time! We hung out in the cornfield, checked out the corn to see how ready it was to harvest, then we headed down to the river! The kids fished and skipped rocks and we even roasted marshmallows till the sun was long gone.

I have known this family for somewhere around 14 years. They were one of the very first families I ever photographed way back in 2011 when I was fundraising to move to Peru. (Let’s just say I am SO thankful they gave me another shot because #neverstoplearning haha)
